Miles Dartman's MMA world has moved aside for his new reality as a member of Body Armor, but the one thing from his past keeps playing on his mind. It was just supposed to be a one night stand that turned into more but she disappeared. So why is he the one who is wishing for a little more of the CLOSE CONTACT they had shared?

Maxi Nevar's life is a mess. Miles was supposed to be a good memory to see her through all the chaos her life had become. But when she wakes up in a field, on the rocky ground, with no memory of how she got there ... Miles is the first person she thinks of. And the last person she really thinks will remember her or help her, but she has to try.

CLOSE CONTACT is amazing! I am a big fan of author Lori Foster and can honestly say there isn't anything she has written that I haven't liked, but this one just hit a lot of aww notes for me. Maxi is a tough young woman, who has made mistakes and believes, wrongly, that she must continue to make "restitution" for those youthful follies. So did her family, until Maxi was able to get them to back off and start to leave her alone. It was Miles who gave her the push to not believe the crap that she was an underachiever, just different and that it is OK. I had also wondered why Miles left the MMA (for those new to Ms. Foster that is mixed martial arts fighting) and that gets explained here. Sorry, you will have to read to find out, but I will say that Miles did the right thing leaving.

I have a thing for books that have guys who act like family though there is no blood, and this is one of the series that does that. Miles' friends, both in Body Armor and in MMA, have his back, which means, in turn, have Maxi's. There are a number of times the guys, and boss lady Sahara Silver show up and a party follows, but it is also them showing their support that I enjoy. The danger that is clipping at Maxi's heels is one that the reader will not see coming as it is way off from the left field, and this author knows how to lead you off this way and that before giving you the bad guy.

If you are looking for hunks who fight for those they love, women who are feisty with good hearts, some intriguing twists to dangerous situations, but intermixed with fun, laughter and a lot of sweet and steamy loving, then get your hands on CLOSE CONTACT right now!
